DemocracyCraft Wiki:Style guide: Difference between revisions

This is the official style guide of the DemocracyCraft Wiki.

Capitalisation

Always capitalise proper nouns, as is proper in English. Use sentence case for all titles, headings, and categories (for example, "List of presidents" rather than "List of Presidents").

Date format

When writing dates, use the day-month-year format. For example, 14 April 2020. Incorrect versions of this format include "the 14th of April 2020" or "14 April, 2020"; avoid these incorrect versions.

Interlinks

Interlinks — links to other pages in the wiki — should only be included in the first mention of the subject, not every time it appears on the page.

Spelling

Proper spelling should be used at all times, unless quoting someone. For common nouns, use Australian English spellings (such as organisation, centre, encyclopaedia).

-When writing dates, use the [[Template:Date|date template]]. This template allows the wiki to be cohesive by using a single date format, and allows for the used format to be easily changed. For example, the 1st of January 2024 would be entered as <code><nowiki>{{date|d=1|m=January|y=2020}}</nowiki></code> and would transclude as {{date|d=1|m=January|y=2020}}.
